Message Title: From Book to Living Word of God
Scripture: John 5:46 & 47
For if you believed Moses,
you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. 47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My
words?”
John5:46&47 nkjv
Many of us in the Church attend
services. Bible studies, Men’s group, women’s, young adults, the list of
services we may attend is almost limitless. We learn and use the church lingo.
Memorize scriptures. Even learn certain bible definitions in Greek and Hebrew.
That’s great and I recommend learning as much as you can. The problem comes
when all you have is your knowledge as your evidence of Jesus The Christ. In
the passage Jesus was going against some of their traditions and what they
believed to be true. They were rejecting him because he did not fit in their
way of thinking.
We can run into in our own lives when
God doesn't answer prayers the way we think it should be answered. If God goes
outside the lines of our belief system then it can't be God. You will learn a
lot about God by attending church, learning the Bible. That all must be applied
to every day for you to really know who God is and how he works.
In Genesis, we read that God visited
Adam daily. He has always been a God who wanted a personal relationship with
us. He still wants a personal relationship with us. My walk with God and your
walk with God will at times look different. It's personal. The same as my
marriage will look different than maybe yours. You don’t really know someone
until you spend time with them. Walk with them, travel with them. We will never
fully understand His Word, heart or Grace until we apply the scriptures to our
lives.
